We've been given some really nice write-ups in Sandman this month (June). There's an ace CD review and a preview of The Twilight Sad gig we're supporting on. There's also this great piece of editorial by Sandman's Leeds Editor Tom Goodhand.
"I was already inclined to like I Concur before I heard a note they played. They emerged onto the Leeds scene with the proud declaration 'we formed thanks to a shared love of Low, The National, Mogwai and Wilco.
"Being utterly besotted with Low and somewhat in awe of The National, it seemed pretty much inevitable that I Concur would win over my ears without too much difficulty. And so I listened to their first demo as soon as it was made available and I got down to one of their early gigs.
"I Concur were impressive. Their sound revolves around the interweaving guitars of vocalist Tim Hann and chief noise-make Chris Woolford and the interesting rhythms of drummer James Brunger. The smart, sharp guitar melodies collide with Hann's understated vocals and an inevitable progression towards a crashing crescendo.
"The new EP is urgent and fraught with underlying subtleties. Each track builds and builds to a hair raising finale and leaves its traces in your mind.
"If you thought modern British indie was all about laddish bores telling you about their day-to-day lives, the I Concur will hopefully set things straight. Seek out one of the 200 copies of the EP, listen to their tracks on MySpace, go see a live show. Just make sure you hear them." Tom Goodhand
Ace!
We also got some wicked new press/live shots thanks to Kevin Petch at last night's EP launch. Cheers fella.
